The beginning of Act Two had Major Winchester doing an operation on a patient named Martinez. More specifically, the operation in surgery was in and around his stomach and in and around his kidneys. He was acting a bit sarcastic about his strength in surgery. Later, he and Captain Greenleigh entered the post-operation recovery area for a visit with his patients. Captain Pierce had different ideas about Major Winchester's patient. Major Winchester would claim that excessive drainage was prevalent in a patient from the conclusion of an operation. In addition. Major Winchester was not convinced that he missed an obvious bleeder inside Martinez's stomach.
Major Houlihan had a crisis of her own. Her soon to be ex-husband Donald Penobscott was not sending her money to the MASH 4077th on a monthly basis. Colonel Potter wanted to lend her some money during her crisis. She declined the offer. She would later have a talk with Captain Hunnicutt inside the Officers' Club about how men stunk in general. A cup of coffee was the best redress Captain Hunnicutt offered to Major Houlihan in her situation with Donald Penobscott.
Captain Pierce would have Martinez return to surgery. He found the bleeder that Major Winchester obviously missed in surgery. He was convinced that his surgery skills were in some doubt. Captain Greenleigh was ready to send the article to Stars and Stripes about Major Winchester's excellent operation on Martinez. He would rip up the notes; therefore, the article would not be printed at all for fear of it being a lie. In the end, Captain Pierce told him he was a total boar in terms of his ego. On the other hand, he was a sensible person for maintain some degree of integrity. A Solid 9!! Highly Recommended From The 1978-1979 Television Season!!
